By Cara Vollmer, Senior Content Strategist, Oracle Cloud-enabled emerging technologies are changing the way companies operate and compete—and the finance function, specifically, is ripe for disruption.

CFOs are embracing cloud deployments for their ERP software and applications in greater numbers, and the advantages of cloud ERP are becoming clearer every year. In a recent discussion with Ray Wang, founder and principal analyst of Constellation Research, Oracle CEO Mark Hurd said that cloud ERP allows finance leaders to “get rid of spreadsheets, get out of customizations, lower costs, and get better reporting.” The burden of regulatory compliance is one key issue that has...

By Indy Bains, Senior Director, Cloud Business Group, Oracle The finance function might be the guardians of the bottom line, but they know that business is about more than just revenue. It’s also about people—in particular, making sure that the organization has the right people in place, with the skills needed to help the business achieve its goals. In many organizations, finance and HR are closely intertwined. So it’s no surprise that a 2017 survey by MIT (MIT Technology...

By Mike Baccala, Assurance Innovation Leader, PwC and Ed Ponagai, Principal, Finance Consulting, PwC Earlier this year, we made 8 predictions about artificial intelligence (AI) in 2018. They’re all of particular importance to the finance function because—unlike autonomous cars and cancer cures—AI is ready for actual production in finance. Indeed, the finance function is one place we had in mind when we wrote: “AI will come down to earth—and get to work.” By “get to work,” we...

Information technology is going through a massive generational shift. The pendulum between multiple and single vendor configurations is swinging back to favor a more vertically-integrated technology stack: the cloud. This transition offers customers of all sizes better security and more innovation all at a lower cost—and it’s inevitable. Then Versus Now At Modern Supply Chain Experience 2018, Oracle CEO Mark Hurd asserted that this shift “is generational—you are going to see...

A little over two years ago, we launched this publication with a vision: the finance team is the co-pilot of the business. In the short years since then, the vision and role of finance has continued to expand. Today, it’s not enough even to be the co-pilot. Finance leaders must also be the change agent of the organization—innovating today, predicting tomorrow, and shaping the future. The single-most important question finance leaders need to be asking is, “What will tomorrow...

You may not dine out much at high-end restaurants in seaside cities—that is, unless you are in Dubai. In 2017 the Dubai government launched an app and website called Food Watch, which enables people to get detailed information about the food they...
